VPN providers S/D

Shopping around for a VPN provider... experiences, reviews, etc...

This is working pretty well for me

https://github.com/ziogas/digital-ocean-private-vpn

if you use opera it's got a free built-in VPN with 5 locations: canada, germany, netherlands, singapore, usa

not helpful if you want to use it for other apps obv

It’s not a VPN but a proxy, and please be careful using either proxy or VPN as they can look at anything you do. Free proxy/VPN = great example of the product being you.

I’ve been using Private Internet Access for years mainly for when I travel or need to use sketchy WiFi networks. They are considered reputable, for whatever that’s worth. I keep meaning to roll my own with algo or whatever, but it gets complicated and I’d need to constantly maintain it - keep every possible attack vector patched and all that.

Why not roll your own with Algo? - https://blog.trailofbits.com/2016/12/12/meet-algo-the-vpn-that-works/

ok that's creepy

Hotspot Shield is the best VPN I've used, to date: https://www.compuchenna.co.uk/hotspot-shield-review/

Forticlient rules

i'm being nudged by friends towards NordVPN

any warnings or disagreement from ilxors? (and if so, what's better?)

It's fine, tbh I find them all much of a muchness now, just find the best deal. it's not like in China when you have to choose the few that actually work.

Nord works fine for me.
